Re: [ARSCLIST] A Holiday vision



Well, it's not like Matador needs to be archived, or not yet.

They issue vinyl, which I buy, usually recorded and mastered all analog, and they give you a coupon to download the complete album for free in a decent MP3 form. I buy the records from little fringe establishments like the one you mention (since we lost Tower).

On these days of much despair about the state of the recorded music business, or indeed music itself, and pining about everyone's (especially youth's) inability to appreciate the arts, I thought I would share a sight I had last week-end in the heart of New York City, the Times Square subway stop.

There was a *newly opened* independent record store, selling iPod accessories, DVDs, CDs, cassettes, and (gasp!) vinyl discs, seemingly doing brisk business.

Next to it there was a string quintet formed by folks in their twenties. They were surrounded by a very attentive crowd of 100+, stopping in the middle of their busy shopping errands to listen to their rendition of Mozart, played with verve and impeccable intonation.

Happy holidays to everyone!
